AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORTH PLATTE NE
250 PM CDT SAT JUL 23 2005

.DISCUSSION...
    OF THE MOST IMMEDIATE CONCERN IS THE WIND ADVISORY THAT IS IN
EFFECT FOR NORTH CENTRAL NEBRASKA. THE SPEEDS ARE STILL SHORT OF
ADVISORY CRITERIA, BUT WE BELIEVE THAT ENOUGH MIXING SHOULD OCCUR BY
2100Z TO BRING THEM UP. ASSUMING THEY DO REACH ADVISORY CRITERIA IN
THE NEXT TWO HOURS, THEY WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE UNTIL AT LEAST
2400Z. SO, AT THIS TIME, IT APPEARS THAT WE WILL CONTINUE THE
ADVISORY UNTIL IT EXPIRES AT 0100Z. LAST MINUTE ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE
REQUIRED BEFORE THE FORECAST IS ISSUED.

    FOR TONIGHT, THE MOISTURE IN WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA WILL CONTINUE
PUSHING SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN NEBRASKA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING. LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE ALONG THE SURFACE FRONT NEAR THE
NORTHERN STATE LINE AND IN THE WEST ALONG THE BOUNDARY SHOULD
GENERATE ENOUGH LIFT FOR AT LEAST SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTH
CENTRAL AND WESTERN NEBRASKA. IN FACT, WITH THE HIGH PLAINS BOUNDARY
IN THE AREA, THE MENTION OF THUNDERSTORMS IS APPROPRIATE THROUGH
SUNDAY NIGHT. THE MAIN EVENT STILL APPEARS TO BE LIKELY MONDAY
AFTERNOON THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING AS THE SURFACE FRONT FINALLY MAKES
ITS WAY THROUGH NEBRASKA. THE FRONT THEN BECOMES STATIONARY OVER
OKLAHOMA AND KANSAS.

    IN THE EXTENDED, WEDNESDAY THROUGH SATURDAY, TEMPERATURES
RECOVER AS THE UPPER RIDGE BUILDS BACK IN OVER THE ROCKIES. WE DONT
EXPECT A REPEAT OF THE CURRENT HEAT WAVE, BUT 90-95 IS LIKELY AGAIN
BY SATURDAY. SINCE INDICATIONS ARE THAT UNINTERRUPTED FLOW FROM A
MOISTURE SOURCE DOES NOT BECOME ESTABLISHED BEFORE SATURDAY,
PRECIPITATION IS UNLIKELY.
&&

.SYNOPSIS...
    ANALYSIS OF 18Z SURFACE DATA SHOWED CONVERGENCE ALONG A BOUNDARY
THROUGH WESTERN NEBRASKA AND A WARM FRONT ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL
THROUGH SOUTHEAST SOUTH DAKOTA. THERE WERE LOW PRESSURE CENTERS OVER
CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN, CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND EAST CENTRAL
COLORADO. LOOKING AT THE DERIVED PRODUCT IMAGERY FROM GOES, THE
TOTAL PRECIPITABLE WATER INDICATED A MOISTURE PLUME WRAPPING AROUND
THE WEST SIDE OF THE SURFACE LOW IN CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA. DRIER MORE
STABLE CONDITIONS WERE INDICATED IN WESTERN NEBRASKA.
